Not to brag, but I’m a living NJ author of books for young readers; avid reader of all things; and lover of fluffy dogs and baseball, with the palate of a nine-year-old. she/her www.audreyvernick.com

Target sales drop in 1st quarter and retailer warns they will slip for all of 2025 Target’s challenge to revive sales and its status as a cheap chic retailer just got more complicated.

I'm probably not singlehandedly responsible for this drop, even if I kind of think I am.

I have no connection to this but saw the listing and thought it might be of interest to many of my bluesky friends.

Tell Congress to #FundLibraries The American Library Association is leading the charge for libraries. Librarians, information professionals, and everyone who loves them must tell their members of Congress to support full federal fun...

ALA has made it very, very easy for you to write to your Congress representative in support of public library funding if you haven't already.

And are you, like me, now one of the world's leading scholars on tuberculosis?

With all the calls and letters and debilitating anger, it took me a little too long to realize I should cancel my Target credit card. Done. (And it should not have taken 41 minutes. That's quite some "music" they have on hold.)

When possible, I always try to mix in a little spring sunshine with my dystopian nightmare reality.

There’s so much disgusting muck in our daily lives. I’m trying my hardest to be ever so much more appreciative of the good stuff, like being welcomed into an elementary school library for a daylong visit with hundreds of earnest readers.

But do you think that same guy is the one who voted against Jeter? There's (almost) always one....

It was long ago and I have no idea. Glad you like it!

I am sure that the drive to New Jersey won't take you very long; I can't wait to see mine in person!

Sure, all the cool kids are gathering in Boston for NCTE. But here in NJ, I am tidying my office in preparation for some work I will surely start soon, I have tunes, and a sweet visitor keeping me company.

Hi! I'm new here.

I deleted my X account and am happy to find so many book-loving folks and kidlit creators hanging on despite recent events. I'm still struggling, but surely there must be blue skies and other very blue things down the road.

It looks like a very, very long road.
